Chapter 401: Finally Landing
The whole day passed peacefully, but Lu Yao's heart set off a monstrous wave.
Although she said that last night's killer was not too scary, Gu Congyuan greeted her from behind, which made her scream in fright, and she retreated several feet away.
"It is estimated that the passenger ship will dock tomorrow, don't worry, this king has always been by your side." Gu Congyuan said slowly, "When you get to the shore and send heavy troops to surround the inn, you can get a good night's sleep." ā
There were two heavy blue and black balls under Lu Yao's eyes, and she waved her hand weakly and said: "I actually don't care, but Xiao Jiu is still young, you must be good at it, don't let those messy idlers scare her again." ā
Gu Congyuan frowned, pinched her obviously slimmed cheek, and said coldly, "You don't care"
"Pain" Lu Yao is like a slippery loach, and when he touches it, he jumps up, which makes His Royal Highness King Cong helpless, "What are you doing?"
"Why, isn't it possible for this king to care about his wife" A few smiles appeared in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to pinch people again.
Lu Yao slapped the man's paw away and snorted, "The prince's taste is really unique, and the way he cares about me is so unique. ā
Gu Congyuan did not shy away from saying: "In fact, there are more unique, but the boat has been bumpy in the past few days, and the rest is not good, so as not to delay the body of the lady." ā
Lu Yao slowed down for a while, and she finally heard something in the man's meaningful and regretful tone, and her face slowly turned red.
She glared at the man fiercely: "You know in a day"
"You know what" Gu Congyuan narrowed his long eyes, looked at her with a smile on his face, and waited for her next step with a straight face.
However, Lu Yao blushed and couldn't speak.
The little soldiers in the corridor couldn't collapse anymore, after all, it was rare to see the prince so lively, and it was easy to see such a scene, he endured it again and again, his face was almost suffocated into pig liver color, and he still leaked with a poof.
Gu Congyuan paused, the hand that was originally on the door panel was retracted, looked sideways, raised his eyebrows and said, "You understand again"
The little soldier held a spear in his hand, straightened his waist, and immediately recovered a serious expression on his face: "I don't understand if I don't belong to him."
Lu Yao only cared about arguing with Gu Congyuan, and he didn't notice at all that there were so many guards on the entire floor where they lived tonight.
She was stunned for a while before she said, "Actually, there is no need to be so exaggerated."
"Then how can it be done" Gu Congyuan immediately denied, he said with his hand, "Anyway, being idle is idle, and there is nothing wrong with letting these personal soldiers I brought out come out to stand guard and watch the night, right?"
Lu Yao's bones were stuck in his throat, and he raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "What kind of pro-soldier"
Gu Congyuan nodded with a look of waiting to be praised.
Who knows, she paused, but laughed heartily: "Gu Congyuan, when did you go out like this, originally said that you were traveling in the mountains and rivers, at most to help Li Yun investigate old cases, and also brought your glamorous personal soldiers"
Listening to the ridicule, His Royal Highness King Cong's face was a little embarrassed, he covered his lips and coughed a few times, and said: "The pro-soldiers are well-trained, stand up, neat, and very well-arranged, isn't it necessary to travel?"
Lu Yao couldn't laugh anymore, but she was
Unexpectedly, Gu Congyuan still had such careful thoughts, and he couldn't help laughing to death.
"You are here today, and tomorrow you will go ashore, so you don't have to work so hard." Gu Congyuan turned around and commanded.
The rows of soldiers standing guard immediately said in a loud voice: "Yes"
Compared with the previous night, this night was really calm and waveless, Lu Yao had an injury on his back, so he could only lie on the bamboo couch, and it was not a good night's sleep to sleep.
Gu Congyuan noticed that this person was abnormal, and his original drowsiness dissipated by three points, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?"
Naturally, there are things on their minds, and Lu Yao has been preoccupied since he stepped on this passenger ship, and he always feels that something bad is waiting for them in the dark.
It feels very weird, but what will happen next is anyone's guess.
She felt uncomfortable in her heart, stretched up her arms to look at him, and said, "Yuanbao and the nurse are in the Rejuvenation Hall, it will be fine."
Gu Congyuan smiled: "This bastard doesn't recognize other people, but the nurse still recognizes it." He glanced at the person, "Tell you quietly, I think the relationship between Yuanbao and the nurse is more solid than that between you and Yuanbao." ā
Lu Yao naturally knew that he had gone to Qingfeng Village and Qingyuan City in the north before, and it took a long time to travel between the two places
And the matter of Tongfu Merchant also keeps her busy feet on the ground, and the time she spends with Yuanbao is sometimes not as much as that of Gu Congyuan.
She felt ashamed in her heart, which made Gu Congyuan make a joke like a joke, which made it even more weird.
She nudged the man and stopped talking.
Gu Congyuan noticed her emotional fluctuations, gently touched her soft hair, and said slowly: "But Yuanbao has never blamed you, he told me last time that he wanted to play with you to turn over the flower rope." ā
A tear rolled out of the corner of Lu Yao's eye, and soon disappeared into the pillow, she didn't look at the person, and said sullenly: "But that's a little girl playing a game, and Yuanbao is a man." ā
"Silly." Gu Congyuan said softly, "If he can play with you, does he care if it's a boy's or a girl's game?"
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, he completely plunged into Lu Yao's heart.
The corners of her eyes became even wetter, and it took a long time before she reluctantly came back to her senses, not wanting Gu Congyuan to notice that she was sad and crying, so she coughed twice and asked: "I'm worried, so many of us will be plotted by killers on the passenger ship, Yuan Bao and a few powerless subordinates stay in the Rejuvenation Hall, will it?"
Before she finished speaking, she listened to Gu Congyuan and said: "No, none of Li Yun's subordinates are dry food, they are serious, but they are much safer than us on this passenger ship." ā
"That's good." Lu Yao responded angrily.
"Don't think about it," Gu Congyuan gently kissed the top of the human hair, and slowly plucked the sandalwood hairpin she forgot to take off, "Sleep, tomorrow will be fine." ā
In the early morning of the next day, the travelers on the passenger ship went down to the port like dumplings, and crowded each other, but they were a little more angry.
Lu Yao, who had been sleepless all night, didn't like such a noisy and crowded environment, but after that thrilling night, she began to feel at ease with such a lively occasion.
An indescribable sense of security came over her, and she smiled softly and slowly walked down the stairs.
Since Gu Congyuan put down the rebellion of the Eighteen Tribes in Southern Xinjiang at the age of sixteen, many people in the Central Plains are willing to move south, especially businessmen who pursue profits, and they have taken a fancy to the treasures of medicinal materials here and have moved here thousands of miles away.
In addition, the Tiansheng Dynasty had the great help of the Rejuvenation Hall a few years ago to solve the problem of suffering from miasma, and in just a few years, Southern Xinjiang is also very rich.
Gu Congyuan also set foot on this southern homeland again after many years, and he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Thinking that he had just taken the place of King Yuan Cong, he climbed to the throne of the palace with the filth of the Shadow Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't favor this waste snack at all, and with an order, he handed over his own son's life to the southern Xinjiang with countless casualties.
Gu Congyuan's eyes dimmed slightly, he would never forgive Gu Ji's ruthless man
Anyway, that man is not his biological father.
His biological father was entangled with Emperor Gu Ji in the first half of his life, was framed by his brother until his legs were destroyed, and he had to live in that wheelchair for the rest of his life.
"Madame, do you want to go shopping" He came back to his senses, looked at Lu Yao's eyes and smiled lightly.
Lu Yao nodded and said: "The clothes of the people of Nanjiang, as well as the snacks sold along the road, are very different from the capital, so naturally you should take a look." ā
"That's the case," Gu Congyuan said, "Let Xiao Jiu accompany you for a walk, and this king will first rush to the inn where he settled to deal with the matter of staying in the past few days." ā
Gu Yunyue's side couldn't wait, so she rushed over, grabbed Lu Yao's arm and said, "What are you talking about here, there are fried bugs sold over there, come and try it with me."
The little princess was very noisy, Lu Yao had no choice but to turn around with someone, and Gu Congyuan went to the inn first.
"I didn't expect the Ninth Princess to taste quite good" Lu Yao looked at Gu Yunyue holding a string of fried insects in one hand, feasting and praising repeatedly, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, "Wild." ā
A black, shiny insect was suddenly handed to Lu Yao's eyes, and Gu Yunyue's eyes lit up and said, "Second sister-in-law, you can taste the taste, it's really different."
āā
Lu Yao's hairs stood on end just by looking at the big insect with teeth and claws, let alone let her enter.
She hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "IāI'm not going to do it."
Gu Yunyue was really scared when she saw people, so she didn't make it difficult for others, she looked at the fried insects in wonder, and whispered: "Go back and ask the chef in the imperial dining room to add this dish to the menu."
"These things are not the taste of the capital, even if you like it, you can't eat too much at once, be careful of hurting your stomach." Lu Yao really couldn't face the black insects that were all over the place, so he hurriedly dragged Gu Yunyue away.
She was amazed: "Second sister-in-law, you are really very different from before, at least ten times more than before."
Although the southern Xinjiang is rich, it is still inferior to the prosperity of the capital, and in contrast, the beggars here can almost occupy the mountains as kings.
At this moment, a young man in a cloak on the side of the road seemed to be arguing with someone, and it seemed that he was also a begger, and he was sitting in the corner chattering with a bunch of people, surrounded by beggars who watched the bustle.
"Don't laugh, why are you laughing, I am really His Royal Highness King Cong, if you send me back to Beijing, I will be rewarded with ten thousand gold"
